If you were raised in DC, Maryland, or Virginia, you know that the culture is unlike anything else. From our signature slang to the fantastic food, you can’t help but love where you grew up. The DMV was the best place to live as a kid, even if your college friends disagree. Keep reading for the 10 signs you grew up in the DMV!
